Hi I have made a small script, which takes an URL and encodes it with "encodeURI". See code below. It fails if I try to log the encoded URL. If I do no logging it works and sets the private data correctly. I get this error: Invalid placeholders in log message at Object._0x4028cb [as _log] ...

#UPDATE 2023-09-08 13.57.06: Link to script is changed. Better logging is added. See this post https://forum.enfocus.com/viewtopic.php?t=4756 Hi Erik I am still learning to script in Node.JS, so I took this as a small challenge. Here is a small script, which uses the function "encodeURI" o...

Hi Erik

Could you set the variable to private data?
Then use one of the apps, which can search and replace in private data, to search for space and replace with %20.
And in the e-mail insert the private data url.

I have now tried to use the Split PDF app with an action list, which logs the text "Invoice number:". This text is on the first page of every invoice in a pdf with multiple invoices. I need to split the pdf, so I can sort on number of pages per invoice. Invoices can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 pages. ...

Hi Freddy

Did not know the Split PDF pages app could do that.

We use the preview internally to preview files with Quick-look before opening. Which is why I prefer 5 pages with higher resolution instead of all pages at lower resolution.

[Metadata.Integer:Path="xmp:PageInfo/*[last()]/xmpTPg:PageNumber"] In my tests it seems this metadata is based on the setting in InDesign, which can save a preview of each page. And since I have it set to 5 pages, then all my InDesign files are reported as being 5 pages. I could set it to...

Perhaps another way could be to use find text with a Pitstop action where you find and log the selection.
Then use the XML-report somehow to split based on when the text changes from T1 to T2 etc.

Have not done it but could maybe be a path to take.

Hi I have previously used A PDF Splitter with execute command to split pdf-files based on content. It worked create in my scenario, where I need to split a large file with a lot of invoices, which where 1, 2 or 3 pages. http://www.a-pdf.com/content-splitter/index.htm You can use the program to defin...

Hi Laurent

Thanks for the suggestions.
I know I could do it in other ways, but was unsure if there were a more direct way to get the data, without needing to open/process the InDesign-file.

Has somebody a method to get the number of pages in an InDesign-file in Switch?
The variable [Stats.NumberOfPages] does not return anything. And I can not see anything in the XMP about this.

In the mail send you could set the to address to the variable below:
[Job.NameProper:After=" "]@company.com

In my test with a sample file named "123456L Compnay JohnDoe.pdf" it gives me "JohnDoe".

Thanks. As always it works when you suggest a solution :D And thanks for the tip with finding this site: https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev This is the finished script: if ($error == null && $doc != null) { try { // Define image folder var folderObj = new Folder("D:\\TEST\\Place-imag...

I have a script, which places 6 images into a template InDesign file. It works if I predefine an array with all the 6 images. Instead I would like to have the script look in a certain folder and make an array of all the files in the folder. See code below. But it returns "ERROR: folderPath.getF...
